THIS IS HOW YOU DO DISCOMFORT ZONE.

This is some kind of cult, isn't it? Hope they didn't get your credit card number. Maybe you should give it to me for safekeeping.

Well, I never can tell if Steve is being sincere or not. HOWEVER, at least he had the decency to make it appear as if he was genuinely "discomfortable." Take note, Merc staff!! This is what your readership wants: real suffering, or failing that, the appearance of real suffering. Well done!

Nothing says professionalism like telling your bass player the chords to the song right before you start playing. Also, not tuning your guitar.
Best Discomfort Zone EVAR!

@Never Alone: AMEN! Maybe if this was renamed the Schadenfreude Zone they'd understand.

Stop promoting Joe's goddamn it. Also those three arguing old men are ALWAYS THERE. ALWAYS.

Is there any chance of Scab Harvest playing a show with the Gentlemen's Club Band?

The only thing Hack Wilson has on Ty Cobb is homeruns, and his came in an environment where everyone was hitting them. They both played center field but it's a reasonable assumption that Cobb was a far superior defender as he was a baserunner, and he was a much better hitter for average and, more importantly, had a vastly higher OBP. Taking everything into account, Cobb was twice the player Wilson was, and even Wilson's absolute best season of 1930 was no match for what Cobb did year in and year out. The only way you could possibly argue that Wilson was a better player is if you have no concept of era and only look at HR and RBI when judging someone.

This is just freaking awesome. Can we get that keyboardist to play the next Blogtown Meetup? I use the 'play' here quite loosely.

This sets the Gold Standard for Discomfort Zone write-ups. The rest of you slackers are on notice!

Leave it to Steve to spread the discomfort throughout the whole crowd.

And yes, this is well done. But for the record, I definitely got the impression that Smirk and Erik were superiorly Discomforted in their respective Zones.

That idiot-zombie keyboardist is exactly the type of person I wish would move back to their home state. Guess what kiddo- You may as well try to be happy cause nobody gives a shit if youre not

I thought this would be like parents telling stories about their kids - annoying and uninteresting, yet tolerable. Oh, no no no. That video actually had a discomfort miasma that spread from my computer and infected my day. Kudos for braving it sober!

Is this the one Alison was going to...for fun?

Beautiful! Hands down the best entry yet.

Wow when is the next one ? I would so totally get laid.

First of all, the keyboard action in the first four minutes of the video is awesome. So you can all go to hell. Second of all, I now have a way to normalize the conversation if people ask me why I'm drunk at 1100am on a sunny saturday morning...

OH MAN IT MUST BE AMAZING TO BE SO UTTERLY SUPERIOR TO A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE THE INHERENT FLAWS IN THE THINGS THEY ENJOY AND CAN DEMONSTRATE TO THEM THAT THE THING TO WHICH THEY ATTACH VALUE IS, INDEED, VALUELESS! HA HA THEY ARE SO STUPID AND THEIR ACTIONS SO DESERVING OF RIDICULE!
